A brash, self-destructive narcissist with selective face-blindness, “Jimmy” (Chris Geere) is a British novelist living in Los Angeles. His hotly-anticipated first book — a semi-autobiographical tale of a father and son reconnecting — was a minor critical darling, even if sales were less than stellar.Jimmy has been burned by relationships in the past and has thus written them off completely. He instead chooses to focus his energies on scotch, aggressively foisting his opinions on others, and writing his next book. Jimmy’s crafted a very controlled lifestyle that allows him to stay firmly in his comfort zone; that lifestyle is quickly sidelined when Gretchen enters his life.

Cynical, stubborn, and fundamentally dishonest, “Gretchen” (Aya Cash) manages to defy expectations with everything she does. Gretchen handles PR for some of the biggest and most difficult music acts in town, so she knows how to hold her own.She's never been in a real relationship and is perfectly happy with that, so when she meets Jimmy and finds herself falling for him, her whole worldview is turned on its head. Gretchen never ceases to surprise Jimmy, who finds himself quickly succumbing to her charming abrasiveness. She may be the only person in the world who's suited to handle, and possibly fall in love with, Jimmy.

Edgar used to be Jimmy's pot dealer in college, but the two lost touch when Edgar joined the Army and did a couple tours in Iraq. Now back home, Edgar finds himself grappling with PTSD and searching for his place in the world.Edgar and Jimmy reconnected a few years ago when Jimmy found him living on the streets. Now Edgar lives with Jimmy rent-free. In exchange, Edgar does light housework and cooks all of Jimmy's meals. Though Jimmy would be the last to admit it, Edgar has become his closest (and probably only) friend.

Kether Donohue plays “Lindsay,” who is down for literally anything, making her the perfect wing-woman and – more often than not – enabler. Lindsay and Gretchen have been best friends their whole lives; they've spent many a night drunkenly partying and fueling each other's bad impulses. Having just gotten out of a failed marriage, Lindsay is on her own for the first time, struggling to balance her new life as a professional woman with her predilections for debauchery.
